Impeachment: the Time is Now
Here's the latest from ImpeachBush/VoteToImpeach.org if anyone's interested. Sorry if this is a dupe.

The Time is Now
Three Major Initiatives for the Impeachment Movement


Dear XXXXX,

We need your support to bring Impeachment to the White House door!

Please make a much needed contribution now for the growing costs of this demonstration - from many thousands of signs and flyers to buses to help get people to DC. Help us fill the streets with ImpeachBush banners and placards - and people!

Click here to donate.


The overwhelming response to the latest call for impeachment from Ramsey Clark has given the impeachment movement the ability to intensify the nationwide effort and to launch new initiatives.

There are three specific pillars to this campaign and it is urgent that all members and supporters of the ImpeachBush/VoteToImpeach.org participate and spread the word to family members, friends, neighbors, and co-workers. Everyone can participate either directly as a volunteer and/or by making a financial contribution.

The three upcoming Impeach Bush initiatives are critical because the possibility of impeachment has never been greater than right now.

On September 10, 2005 the AP-Ipsos poll reported that President Bush's job approval has dropped below 40 percent for the first time, reflecting widespread disgust with the ongoing Iraq war, his response to the human catastrophe to Hurricane Katrina, and his "friends" in the oil and energy corporations, who have taken advantage of both the war and the hurricane to engage in price gouging and raise gas prices dramatically. Bush's systematic shredding of the Bill of Rights and the Constitution is another principal factor that accounts for the rising tide of disgust and outrage.

The impeachment agenda:

September 24: Mobilize a massive contingent for the National March on Washington DC. This is a demonstration initiated by the peace movement and it is shaping up to be the largest demonstration since the beginning of the Iraq war. We will make the demand "Impeach Bush" highly visible throughout the day. The ImpeachBush movement will be assembling at the south side of the White House (an area called the Ellipse at 11:00 am). You can pick up ImpeachBush banners, placards, signs, literature, hats, and petitions. We need volunteers to help us dispatch people and materials starting in the early morning of September 24. If you can help out please send an email letting us know your availability to be an ImpeachBush.org volunteer.

September 26: Flood Congress with emails calling for Impeachment. ImpeachBush/VoteToImpeach.org is setting up an easy to use mechanism so that hundreds of thousands of emails can be sent by people all over the country on Monday September 26 demanding that their elected official introduce Articles of Impeachment for George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and other high officials.

Take out full page newspaper ads. We have placed full page newspaper ads in the New York Times, Boston Globe, San Francisco Chronicle and in newspapers in other parts of the country. We are soliciting funds now so that the next round of newspaper ads can follow directly after the September 24 mass demonstrations and the September 26 National Lobbying Day.
The number of new people joining the impeachment movement is increasing each day. But this a huge effort that requires significant funding. Many people have contributed but we must do more.

We need funds now to help promote and transport people who want peace to Washington on September 24, for the next round of newspaper ads, and for the acceleration and continuation of the impeachment drive into the Congressional elections next year. Please take a moment to make a much needed donation, by clicking here.

Sincerely,
All of us at ImpeachBush.org

of Chimp will teach all teens and young adults - as well as some former adults - about delusion and greed and how it is no way to live. There is no happiness in it and this is so obviously being displayed as just resulting in pursed lips and anger and hate.

2. I want to rid this administration of Chimp Boy ..
as much as anyone.

However look at the bigger picture people, who would leave us with?, SATAN himself Dick Chenney. We must first rid ourselves of Chenney before impeaching Chimp Boy. Think about it.

Chenney is the puppetmaster, with out him the rest of this EVIL empire is nothing!!!

3. Ok but
think of it this way. Bush isn't really in charge anyhow and we all know it. Most likely Cheney isnt either, in fact there are a lot of people behind the scenes pulling at strings from all directions so to get rid of one or two isnt going to cut it. But.....we do need to begin the process of getting rid of them. Start with Chimpy and send a message to the world. Because when it boils right down...the message has got to get the attention of THE WORLD, these thugs are connected and pushing a one world agenda. Not only will it send a message that people have had enough but it will also empower people.

So many of us have felt so defeated for far too long......we need a victory. I don't think anyone who's calling for Impeachment thinks for a second that it will mean peace on earth......but it's a start.
Impeachment wont be the victory......people feeling empowered again, will be the victory!
